Unit Assembly
Note: There are no penetrations into the AHU casing.Consider overall unit serviceability and
accessibility before mounting, running wires (cable), making cabinet penetrations, or mounting any
components to the section cabinet.
See panel penetration on page no. 11.
Section-to-Section Assembly
YORK Air Handling Units ship will all necessary assembly hardware and gasket material. The hardware
should be packaged in either a clear plastic envelope or cardboard box inside the fan section or mixing
box sections.
The number of sections to be assembled often makes it necessary to use more than one section to
ship the assembly material; therefore, check all sections thoroughly before proceeding work.
Sections are joined with gasketing applied to one of the mating surfaces and hardware to bolt the
sections together. The gasketing for section-to-section joints is a closed cell foam with self-adhesive.
1. Locate the mounting hardware and gasket material.
2. Remove shipping bolts located on the mounting surfaces of the sections.
3. Apply the gasketing to one of the maing surfaces; if unit ships in multiple sections, fasten the quick
connects where the modules are bolt together.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Cleaning Of Dampers
Cleaning of dampers should be performed before operation. Maintenance personnel must determine
when cleaning is necessary based on observation an operation
Hardware Check
Make sure all linkage parts, actuators and, mounting brackets are secure.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Cover electrical components such as fan motors, damper motors, thermostats, etc. with plastic. Care
should be taken on interior coil cleaning. Remove filters; cover fan bearings and any insulation to keep
these items free of water damage. Condensate drain piping should be screened to allow coil-cleaning
water to flow freely. Screening keeps traps and drain lines from clogging with debris washed from the
coils.
2. Prior to any application of wet cleaning materials, use a wide soft bristle paint brush to dust off any
heavy dust, leaves, bugs or other foreign matter that may be on the coil fin surface.
3. When possible, remove dirt lodged in the depth of the coil by using clean oil-free air under pressure.
Caution should be taken not to use extreme high-pressure air as this may cause fin surface damage.
Direct the air straight at the openings between the fins and never at an angle, which may bend the fins
agaist one another. Always apply the air from the air leaving side of the coil.
5. Spray the cleaning agent on both sides of the coil to be cleaned. Allow the cleaning agent to remain
in contact with the dirty surface for about 5 minutes or as recommended by the agent instructions.
Then flush the coil with clean water from a hose (with spray nozzle or from pressure washer). Flush
from the air leaving side of the coil. Caution should be taken, as extreme water pressure may result in
fin surface damage. Direct the water straight at the openings between the fins and never at an angle,
which may bend the fins against one another. This process will wash away surface dirt on the air
entering side of the coil, and prevent it from loading within the depth of the coil.
PG.20-21-22
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
6. Most cleaners are concentrated detergents and can be diluted with up to 10 parts of water. Dilute as
per cleaning agent instructions and coil condition. Re-spray both sides of the coil with cleaner. Allow to
stand 5 minutes and flush as described previously. Finish flushing from both sides of the coil.
7. Some extreme oil and dirt conditions may require steam cleaning. Most steam equipment can be
adjusted to provide a mixture of water and steam at a moderate pressure. Steam alone without the
presence of water does not work well with most cleaning agents. Cleaning the coils with steam should
be done as described previously.
7. Apply cleaner to ALL surfaces including: under side of coil, header and return bends if in air stream,
coil supports, coil wall or bulkhead, auxiliary drain pans, splash guards, any other surfaces subject to
wetting by condensation dripping or carried by normal air flow, drain pan and outlet.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Safety Notes
Before doing any maintenance operation on the fan it's imperative to ensure that:
- the drive motor is disconnected from all electric isolators.
- the impeller has come to rest
- the surface temperature has been checked to prevent burning
- the impossibility of an uncontrolled running of the fan during the maintenance works
- no debris of damage or dangerous materials are inside the fan.
Only limited works may be carried out while in the operating condition and in observance of the safety
and accident prevention regulations (for ex. Measurement of vibration).
The non-observance of these points endangers life for the maintenabìnce personnel.
Depending on air, wear and dirt can be expected inside the housing and on the impeller (corrosion,
abrasions, sticked materials). Regular inspection and cleaning must take place. The intervals between
them is to be fixed by the operator on accordance with individual operating conditions.
Belt drive
It's recommended, depending on the installation site and type of fan-operation, to check regularly the
belt tension.
Belt replacement
The axle spacing should be reduced until the new belts can be easily fitted by hand. The retensioning of
the belts should be done in a accordance with Belt drive alignment.
Ensure that the motor pulley and the fan drive pulley are accurately aligned. Fit and tension the
belt in accordance with instructions.
Only electrostatically conductive belts are to be used with spark-proof execution (Ex-version) fans.

NOTICE!
Belt Tension!
Do not over-tension belts. Excessive belt tension will reduce fan and motor bearing life,
accelerate belt wear and possibly cause shaft failure. Under tensioning belts is the primary
cause of premature belt failure. Belts should not squeal at startup. Recheck belt tension after
8 hours, 48 hours of operation and monthly thereafter.
23
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
24
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under the maximum load.
2. Check the belt tension within the first 24-48 hours of operation.
4. Keep the belts free from material that can cause slipping.
7. At the centre of the free length 't' apply a force 'Td' (perpendicular to the free length, sufficient to
cause a deflection S = 1.6 mm per 100 mm of free length. For example the deflection of a 1000mm free
length should be 16mm.
8. Check the applied force with the table vaules. If it is between the "min" and "max" values the belt
tensioning is satisfactory. If it is a lower than the "min" the belt is too loose and if it is more than the
"max" the belt is too tight. However a new drive can be set at an initial value double the "min" value to
allow for normal stretching during the initial operation.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Bearings
Like all components, the bearings must be periodically checked and if required cleaned and re-
lubricated.
In heavy duty operating conditions (high speed or high humidity and dirt) we recommend to re-
lubrificate the bearings very often, for ex. Every 2 weeks. The re-lubrication intervals indicated on
Appendix. 1 apply for fans with horaizontal shaft and with temperature which do not exceed'+ 60° C. To
consider the accelerated ageing of the grease by high temperatures, it's opportune to reduce by half the
re-lubrification interval you can desume from he diagram for each 15° C of operating temperature
augmentation of the bearing over +70°C (the max. admissible temperature for the grease musn't in any
case be exceeded). By temperatures below +70°C, the re-lubrification intervel can be lengthened
correspondingly (the re-lubrification interval should never more than double and at least once yearly -
see diagram). This instructions are to be considered a general reference and must be adapted to each
single fan application.
The bearings mounted on the fans are of different types according to the fans size and the absorbed
power. The base and R-version are supplied with pre-greased sealed for life ball bearings. They are
guaranteed for a L10 life of 20.000 hours at peak performance. By changing the bearings it's necessary
to change the rubber too. The T-version fans are supplied with re-greasable ball bearings with plummer
block. The HLZ fans are supplied with splitted housing ball bearing type. These bearings are regreasble
quantity and we recommend to substitute completely the grease after 2 re-lubrifications. The grease
quantity and regreasing interval depends from bearing type and rpm and are indicated in the tables and
figures in appendix.
Bearing replacement

Bearings lubrication
Many factors can determine when relubrication of the bearings is required: The type and dimension of bering, its operating speed, the
working temperature, pulleys dimension, installed motors power, type of grease and the working enviroment. It is therefore only possible
to give some indications based on statical data available.
The relibrication intervals tf, valid for bearings on horisontal shafts and working with clean air, is the time period at the end of which 99%
of the bearings are still relianle lubricated and represent L1 grease life (the L10 grease is approximately 2.7 the L1 grease life)

Bearing Lubrication
About Y bearing units, SKF doesn’t suggest a quantity of grease to use but the way to carry out the regressing operation. When re-
lubricating.starts to escape from the seal, grease should be pumped slowly into the running bearing until fresh grease To re-lubricate it is
necessary to use the same grease as that used at the initial lubrication. Refer to the table below:
